COUNTING DOWN TO ANDERCON

With less than a month to go before Andercon I'm beginning to look forward to what's in store.

One guest I'm looking forward to seeing is Anderson veteran, Jeremy Wilkin, who replaced David Holliday, voicing Virgil Tracy for the second season of Thunderbirds, and the feature films Thunderbirds Are Go and Thunderbird Six, He also voiced Captain Ochre, and Captain Black prior to the character's Mysteron conversion in Captain Scarlet and The Mysterons. His voice talents are also heard in Joe 90 and The Secret Service.

He appeared in the Anderson live action feature film, Doppelgänger aka Journey to the Far Side of the Sun, and the Anderson TV crime drama, The Protectors.

Jeremy also appeared in Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's UFO TV series.

He was seen in the opening titles of UFO as Lt. Gordon Maxwell aboard Skydiver. Seen here with Gary Myers in the background who played Captain Lew Waterman.

He will be joined on stage at Andercon 2015 with returning guest Georgina Moon, who played Skydiver operative Lt. Sylvia Howell in UFO.

Like Jeremy, Georgina also appeared during the title sequence, seen here with Skydiver Engineer Masters played by Jon Kelley.
